There is no harm in asking the dealer, but make sure your sitting down when they tell you the cost.
If I was in your situation, I would consider contacting a locksmith to determine whether the door lock can be modified to work with the key you have. On my car, only the driver's door has a keyed lock. I'm not sure whether earlier cars had a keyed lock on the passenger door. This may be the least costly option. However, it won't be as convenient as having remote locking and unlocking.
Good luck.

I'd much rather incur the ridiculous expense of having a device that remotely can lock and unlock my doors than the inconvenience of taking an extra 1.27493 seconds to use my key. /S
First world problems, lol.
